The MUA has a large museum fund that exceeds a thousand pieces divided between painting, graphic work, sculpture, work on paper, photography, video and digital media. Among the works preserved here, the collection of graphic works by Eusebio Sempere and the architectural photography collections of Julius Shulman stand out.

temporary of a scientific, artistic and patrimonial nature.

The permanent collection includes artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Eduardo Chillida, Eusebio Sempere, Arcadio Blasco. The MUA realizes about twenty temporary exhibitions per season, including contemporary art exhibitions, dissemination of university research activities and institutional projects in which the entire community is involved.
